All objects fall to Earth at the same speed, regardless of size. As demonstrated by Galileo.


I think you mean “all objects regardless of mass.” Size has nothing to do with it, unless you are taking wind resistance into account.

See #113. Successive floor collapses would have the same effect as air friction, and would slow the fall. but I have no clue how much or even if it would be measurable.

I suspect that it would, and that the building would fall at something less than the acceleration of gravity.
